Why some studies said dairy product

I was once in an office of one for treatment of my back when it was particularly bad shortly after I injured it saving a fainting patient, and there on the wall was a huge poster saying "How would you like a Pus cocktail?" These people were actually claiming that milk consisted of dead white blood cells. I abandoned that chiropractor as soon as I could stand up straight again.

Milk has been a significant component of the food of many cultures, not least the Masai in Africa who drink it mixed with the blood of the animal. Cheese has been a staple in most European and Middle Eastern cultures, and yoghourt (yeah, I know that's a weird spelling but I kinda like it) is another staple that runs from the Balkans all the way across Turkey and up into the southern "-stans" of the former Soviet Union. You've got to figure if its been a food of choice for centuries it can't be all that dreadful, but they do do horrible things to the cattle that produce it in order to increase yield, and we do get significant doses of anti-biotics from much of the food we eat, which doesn't help their effectiveness when it comes time for us to take them for some infection or other. Also the hormones aren't doing anybody much good. Onset of menarch has been getting earlier and earlier for the past 100 years, although hormones in milk go back only about 50.

Not to push a hot button here, but I found the discussions in Europe and Britain on what should be allowed in food to be very enlightening and would like to see the same sort of thing here, if ADM, and Cargill, and Monsanto, and the various Drug companies and the various beef and poultry industries would allow it.

eat or drink what you feel is best for you. Studies indicate that studies are bad for your health.

I personally don't drink milk but I like cheese and ice cream. I figure my chances of living forever are small.

essay to get his name published outside the medical journals. Ah, milk would be a good subject to bash since:

"From 1988 to 1993 there were over 2,700 articles dealing with milk recorded in the "Medicine" archives. Fifteen hundred of theses had milk as the main focus of the article."

Lets see, no cigs, no alcohol, no red meat, no shell fish, no ice cream, no cheese, no etc......
We should only eat broccoli & rabbit food.

I'm not in favor of the hormones and routine antibiotics given to milk and beef-producing cattle, either.

But I think the doctor has been overly influenced by the studies he cites.

Over the years we have been told that eating meat cooked over charcoal caused cancer. That artificial sweeteners caused cancer. (There are others I can't recall.)

We do know that there is indisputable evidence of things that do cause cancer, some of which we can avoid, but some we can't easily avoid.

It is widely accepted that dairy fat adds to our animal fat intake, but there are low fat and fat-free versions on the market. Vitamin D is added to milk to aid the use of the calcium therein.

I could be wrong, but I think that the milk from some other mammals is much higher in fat content than from cows.

I am aware that milk allergy is a common one. But so is allergy to wheat.

There are those who enjoy goat's milk and cheeses made from it. I am not aware of many studies that say it is less likely to "cause cancer".

I haven't heard of sheep or pigs being raised for their milk. Nor of dolphins and whales being milked for human consumption..

I suspect that if any other mammals were raised to produce milk for the market, that they would end up being given hormones and antibiotics, as well.
